* First EpiTion of the fourth part of the ‘‘Contes.” Ex- 
TREMELY RARE. 

La Fontaine obtained the King’s Privilege to print the first 
three parts, but was obliged to publish the fourth surrepti- 
tiously. The Lieutenant of Police, M. de la Reynie caused the

libertinage.”’

The above copy has an engraved frontispiece and a letter- 
press title with the date Amsterdam, chez Corneille Jans 
Zwol, 1676. The rest of the volume is the edition of 1674, 
including the title. This can be only explained by the theory 
that the entire edition of 1674 not having been sold on account 
of its interdiction, the publisher disposed of the remaining 
copies to an Amsterdam bookseller, who added a frontispiece 
and a new title. :

fer me of a dedication, I feel the honor of it, but I do not think 
it would advantage the publication. I am hardly on an eminence 
enough to warrant it. The Reviewers—who are no friends of 
mine—the two big ones especially, who make a point of taking 
no notice of anything I bring out, may take occasion by wt to 
decry us both—Perhaps if you wish to gwe me a kind word tt 
would be more appropriate before your republication of Tour- 
neur. The ‘Specimens’ would give me a handle to it which the 
poems might seem to want,’’ ete.

The inner margins of some leaves are wormed, injuring a few 
letters, the blank corner of one leaf torn off, a small piece of 
the blank margin of o7 and q5 missing, the latter owing to a 
defect in the paper. 

The earliest notice of ownership of this copy was in the sale 


349 


in October, 1698, of the library of Dr. Francis Bernard, physi- 
cian to James II, where it was one of twelve Caxtons. It sold 
there for two shillings and sixpence (sixty-eight cents) and 
passed into the possession of Sir Robert Harley, first Earl of 
Oxford, whose shelf mark is on the first page, and who had it 
rebound in its present covers. The next possessor was Bryan 
Fairfax, who again sold it (with his whole library) privately to 
Francis Child, grandfather of the Countess of Jersey, the ap- 
praiser valuing it at £2.12.6—about thirteen dollars. The Child 
Library passed through marriage to the Earl of Jersey, whose 
book-plate is on the cover, and at the sale of that library in 
- 1885, was bought by Quaritch for Mrs. Norton Q. Pope of 
Brooklyn for £1950, and at her death Mr. Hoe became its 
owner. 
The only other known copies are imperfect, that in the 
Rylands Library—formerly Earl Spencer’s—lacking 10 leaves.

St. Jerome sitting at a desk and writing, is accompanied by an 
elaborate border. The first initial of the text of I. Genesis,

compartments, the first and the last of a larger size represent- 
ing God sitting between angels, the six days of the Creation,

tych written in very minute gold characters: 

‘«Laudibus huius heri felix letare cremona 
Qui meruit fieri patrie generisque corona.” 
And along the first initial of Genesis, also in gold characters, 
another distych: 
‘‘Materiam superat opus excellens uiuiani 
Cuius facta probant mores in pectore sani.”

* A BEAUTIFUL ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT EXECUTED FOR SIR 
WILLIAM HERBERT, EARL OF PEMBROKE of the first creation, 
partisan of Richard III. in the Wars of the Roses, and who was 
captured and executed in 1469. Later in the possession of Sir 
William Herbert, first Earl of Pembroke of the second creation, 
grandson of the former, in whose time were probably added the 
first twenty and the last fourteen folios. In the nineteenth 
century it was in the possession of the Borghese family of 
Rome, and sold by them to an Italian antiquary, who again sold 
it to Mr. F. 8. Ellis, the London bookseller, from whom it passed 
to General Brayton Ives of this city, and finally to Mr. Robert 
Hoe. 

The first twenty leaves of the manuscript contain private 
prayers, one or two having responses in English, and the final 
leaves are entirely in English, probably being additions made 
by the second Earl of Pembroke in the sixteenth century, evi- 
denced by the Order of the Garter surrounding his arms, con- 
tained on the reverse of the first folio, a dignity conferred on 
the Earl by Edward VI. in 1549. On the second leaf is a full- 
length portrait of the Earl of Pembroke in silver and gold 
armor kneeling before an altar in a chapel, probably that of 
the Abbey of Wilton granted to the Earl by Henry VIII. a 
shield with his arms attached to a pillar. The first three leaves 
have illuminated borders, and four of the large initials contain 
the crests of the Herbert family. That the manuscript is for 
the Sarum use is shown by the Hymn and the three Lessons at 
Matins, the Capitulum and Collects at Lauds, and by the Lit- 
anies. In the Kalendar are found in red Wulfstan (Jan. 19), 
Cedda (March 2), Edward (March 18), Cuthbert (March 20), 
Richard (April 3), Alphege (April 19), Dunstan (May 19), 
Edmund (June 19), Oswald (Aug. 5), Wulfran (Oct. 15), 
Friedwida (Oct. 19), Thomas A’Becket (Dee. 29). 

The older—and main portion of the manuscript—commences 
at folio 21 and ends at folio 216. The first few leaves contain 
the calendar, and written in the margin are notes at certain 
dates relating to incidents in the War of the Roses, in which 
the first Earl of Pembroke lost his life. At the VII kalend of

XVIII kalend of April is noted the date of the battle of Barnet 
(1471), and the death of the Earl of Warwick, in May the battle 
of Tewkesbury, in June the marriage of Richard ITI, and so on, 
the writer being probably the private chaplain to the family.

* There are certain indications which suggest that this Manu- 
script may be of English origin, though Sir F, Madden and 
Mr. Shaw considered it to be Flemish, hence, it may have been 
executed by a Flemish artist in England. Sir Francis Palgrave, 
however, judged it to be French. The Calendar contains King 
Edward, Bp. Richard, Guthlac, Nodor, Dunstan, Swithun, 
Oswald, Filibert, &c., while Thomas 4 Becket is erased—as is 
often the case with English MSS. At the top of the first page 
of the Calendar is ‘‘ Jesus have merci upon us. John busshells

one on each side of the page, and the versos have one border 
only. A few very small miniatures are introduced, represent- 
ing the Virgin weaving, Joseph as a carpenter, etc. The

* An interesting example of French Miniature Art of the 
period, Many of the larger illuminations are accompanied by 
small composite miniatures—on the lower or outer margins— 
representing Rural and Domestic Scenes, the characters in 
contemporary costume, while there is a remarkable series 
of large allegorical subjects representing the Seven Cardinal 
Sins, executed on the upper portions of 7 leaves. The 
execution and technique is fine, and the grouping of the 
figures depicted with the graceful ease of an accomplished 
artist. The Calendar has the following Saints in red: Hylarius

ROMAN CHARACTERS, the rubrics in red and. blue on 119

executed with peculiar charm and richness. It mentions 
S. Eufemie, S. Gerematus (May 18 and Sept. 24), S. Processus, 
S. Ebrulfus, etc. The suffrage to S. Roche has been crossed 
through in a later hand, and in this connection it is interesting 
to note on one of the fly-leaves the following inscription pos- 
sibly by the same hand: ‘ Fr. Paulus Vicarius sanctze Inquisi- 
tionis vidit.”

CUTION WRITTEN IN LETTRES BATARDES IN THE SECOND HALF OF 
THE loTH CENTURY. On 332 leaves of fine vellum (5 8/4 x 
4 3/16 inches). Beautifully ornamented with 24 SMALL MINIA- 
TURES wm the Calendar, representing the occupations of the

See. XV. 


“A VERY REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT EXECUTED FOR THE ‘* RE- 
GENTA,’’ ANNE DE BEAUJEU, DAUGHTER oF King Louis XI. or 
FRANCE, whose portrait appears several times, both in her own 
person and as the Virgin Mary (folios 7, 42, 98, 105, 253), while 
in several landscapes is a representation of her favorite resi- 
dence, the Chateau de Loches (folios 77, 108, 126, 144, and o11);: 
The figure of David in armor (folios 269 and 307 ), with blond 
hair and beard, appears to be the portrait of Pierre de Beaujeu, 
her husband. 


THE MINIATURES INTHIS MANUSCRIPT WERE PAINTED BY SEVERAL. 
ARTISTS OF THE SCHOOL OF TOURAINE, THE FINEST BEING UN- 
DOUBTEDLY THE WORK OF JEHAN FoucquEt, who, in 1477 (the 
probable date of execution of the volume), was about sixty years 
of age. The composition of the paintings, the richness and elabo- 
ration of architectural detail, the predilection for blue in the 
coloring of the costumes, and the lavish use of gold, especially in 
armor, are all characteristic of Foucquet. Moreover, the face 
of St. Luke (folio 29 v.) resembles the enamel portrait of him 
in the Louvre. 


The variety of subjects in this manuscript, including secular 
and Biblical scenes from both the Old and the New Testament, 
make it one of the most interesting in the present collection. 


The names of the following saints are written in red in the 
Calendar: St. Vincent (22 Jan.); Saint Gregoire (12 March) ; 
St. Nicholas (9 May); St. Urban (25 May); St. Eloy (25 
June); St. Denis (9 Oct.); St. Katherine (25 Noy.); and St. 
Ursin (29 Dec.). 


For a detailed description of this splendid manuscript see the 
‘‘Catalogue des manuscrits et imprimés de la Bibliothdque de 
M. Ambroise Firmin-Didot,’’ Paris, 1882, no. 17, to whom the 
volume belonged.

21388. HORA, BEATA MARIZA VIRGINIS ad usum 
Romanum, cum ealendario. MS. ON VELLUM OF THE END OF 
THE 15TH CENTURY, FINELY WRITTEN IN NEAT GOTHIC CHARAC- 
TERS IN RED AND BLACK, THE WORK OF A F'LEMISH ARTIST. 209 
leaves (4 1/8 x.3 1/16 inches). ILLUMINATED WITH 32 LARGE 
AND SMALL MINIATURES; 73 BORDERS composed of flowers, birds, 
animals, insects, fruits, jewels, skulls, grotesques, etc. painted 
wm brillant colors on a ground of dull gold, the 24 surround- 
ung the calendar having a small circular painting in the lower 
part representing alternately the occupations of the months 
and the signs of the Zodiac, and numerous large and small 
aluminated ornamental initials. 16mo, old black morocco, the 
sides ornamented with chased silver borders and central medal- 
lions containing small heads, clasps, gilt edges. See. XV. 


* A MOST EXQUISITE LITTLE MANuScRiIPT. The miniatures are 
the work of a distinguished artist of the school of Bruges (prob- 
ably a pupil of Memling), and show purity of design, delicacy 
of color and technique, and realistic charm of expression. The 
figure of the Saviour, the Virgin, the Annunciation and the 
Coronation of the Virgin are the most remarkable. 

The origin of the manuscript is shown also in the Calendar, 
which contains a large number of saints especially venerated in 
Flanders, e. g., St. Aldegonde, founder of the abbey of the 
eanonesses of Maubeuge; St. Amand, Bishop of Maéstricht and 
one of the patrons of the city of Gand; St. Medard, Bishop of 
Tournai; St. Willtbald; St. Lambert, patron of Liége; and St. 
Hubert, first Bishop of that city. 

From the J. J. de Bure, Firmin Didot and Baron de La Roche 
Lacarelle collections.

* AN UNUSUALLY BRILLIANT MANUSCRIPT, apparently painted 
by a Flemish artist under French influence (school of Touraine). 
The Miniatures are executed with great skill, and that of ‘‘ The 
three living and three dead’’—the former on horseback—as well 
as two of the smaller ones, the Virgin Mary seated at the hand- 
loom weaving, and the Mater Dolorosa pierced with swords, call- 
ing for special mention. 

The scenes in the Kalendar dipict with life-like reality various 
customs and manners of the period. February reveals the mas- 
ter of the house, his shoes off, warming his feet by the fire; May,

Kalendar, which is in French, mentions S. Spire in red (April 
26), Rigobert, Baltild, Longinus, Gauchere, Hleuthere, Gorgon, 
Gobert, &e. 

An indication of more recent gwnership is the inscription ‘‘ Di 
Casa Minutoli Tegrimi’’ stamped in the margins of two or three 


pages.

whose arms are quartered with those of the Poncher family at 
the foot of folio 83. On the same page appears in gold ‘‘Sen- 
suivent les Vigiles des trespasses en chant et notte,” after which 
nearly every page contains Gregorian notation—unusual for a 
manuscript of this description. The Kalendar mentions Trans- 
lation of 8. Thomas Aquinas (Jan. 28), Katherine of Siena 
(May 7) and 8S. Dominic (May 24 and Aug. 5), all in red, while

*This Manuscript appeared successively in the sales of 
Giradot de Préfond, La Valliére and the Hamilton Collection. 
It has been described by several bibliographers and art critics 
(including De Bure, Duplessis, Durrien, Springer, and Seidlitz), 
and has been variously attributed to ‘‘Italy in 1524,” Clouet, 
Lucas van Leyden and Geoffroy Tory. The last-named ap- 
pears to have the premier claim, for the text agrees to the 
Livres d’Heures printed by him, and Bernard records that after 
1514 he established himself in Paris, painting miniatures in MSS. 

The Miniatures, which are elaborate in composition and 
original in treatment, are painted with the utmost delicacy. and 
comprise subjects worthy of notice. That of the Virgin 
and Child in the sky appearing as a vision to a group of Court 
Ladies and Nobles ina village street. isa scene of much variety 
and brilliance; the Angels appearing to the 7 shepherds (one of 
whom is a woman) has a beautiful landscape in the back- 
ground; The Presentation in the Temple depicts several women 
garbed in early Sixteenth Century costumes: Christ bearing 
the Cross, with soldiers in armor of the period, and David and 
Bathsheba, the latter attended by ladies in court costume and 
the messenger from the King. These are all surrounded by a 
broad gold border, one of which bears the date 1524. The small 
miniatures include S. Sebastian shot with arrows, S. Denis 
holding his scalp after martyrdom, S. Claudius, and § An- 
thony with bell and staff. 

The FRESHNESS AND RICHNESS OF THESE BEAUTIFUL MINIA- 
TURES LEAVE NOTHING TO BE DESIRED, AND IT IS A MOST 
CHARMING SPECIMEN OF SIXTEENTH CENTURY ART OF ILLUMI-

nearly his equal. Lydgate is believed to have submitted his 
poems in MS. to Chaucer in the words of the above pvem, 
to ‘‘amende and correcte the wrong traces” of his ‘‘rude 
penne.” It was written at the invitation of King Henry V, 
and was printed by Caxton in 1484. 

In the margin of the present Codex are pencil notes showing 
how the printed edition varies with this Manuscript and which 
stanzas Caxton omitted in his edition. The last three folios

CHARLES VI MISSAL. 


92155. MISSALE ROMANUM. Written on 364 leaves of 
vellum. (1414 x 101% in.) PROFUSELY DECORATED WITH ILLUMI- 
NATIONS, LARGE AND SMALL MINIATURES, BORDERS AND ORNA- 
MENTAL CAPITALS. Folio, bound in the original wooden boards,

leather binding, rebacked with modern brown morocco, corner 
pieces and clasps of chiselled and engraved silver of the 17th 
century with designs of hunting scenes, the deluge, the four 


Evangelists, entrance of the animals into the ark, ete. 
See. XIV. 


* A MAGNIFICENT MANUSCRIPT. Executed at the instance of 
Charles VI of France, it was presented by that king to Henry V. 
of England on the occasion of the marriage of the latter to 
Catherine of Valois, daughter of Charles VI and Isabel of Ba- 
varia, at the same time that the King of France declared the 
King of England heir to his kingdom. Later it was in the pos- 
session of Henry VI, Henry VII, and Henry VIII, but at the 
period of the suppression of the monasteries in England seemed 
to have passed into the ownership of Jean Legrand, and was sold 
by a certain Gilles in Antwerp for the account of Legrand to the 
manastery of Tongerloo. Here it remained for nearly three cen- 
turies, until 1869, when it was sold to M. Bachellin, the Paris 
bookseller, who transferred it to M. Didot. It was one of the 
most remarkable MSS. in the Didot sale (1879), and pur- 
chased by the Paris bookseller Fontaine, who sold it to the 
Comtesse Mniszeck (stepdaughter of Honoré de Balzac) for 
100,000 frs. Later it was offered for sale by Thibaudeau at 
three thousand guineas, and finally came into the possession of 
Mr. Hoe. 

Very few missals are so richly and copiously illustrated. There 
are no less than 107 MINIATURES, AROUND EACH OF WHICH ARE 
FOUR SMALLER MINIATURES, MAKING A TOTAL OF 529. There are 
several thousand large and small initials, and each page is sur- 
rounded by an exquisitely designed border. It is probable that 
more than one artist executed the miniatures, one of whom may 
have been Jehan Vandetar, specimens of whose work are ex- 
hibited at the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris, and who shortly 
before the period when this Missal was executed, illuminated and

illustrated a Bible for Charles V. However no indication is given 
of any of the painters, excepting that Flemish influence can be 
traced in many of the miniatures, all of which are of high 
artistic quality. There is a consistency in the treatment of the 
subjects, signifying a concerted scheme and constant supervi- 
sion. The Saviour is represented throughout in a robe of cloth 
gold; the costumes are heightened with gold in every case where 
the reflection of light is intended; and the landecapes and archi- 
tectural backgrounds are all based on the one general design. 
An interesting feature is that on some of the friezes in the archi- 
tecture of the backgrounds are letters or inscriptions, which may 
have some significance. On the wall in the background of the 
thirty-second miniature (the Magdalen anointing the head of 
Jesus) is a series of letters and figures in which can be de- 
ciphered combinations of H and R (Henry Rex), ending with 
“*VITI R.’’ This would seem to indicate the eighth year of 
the reign of Henry V, very nearly corresponding to the date of 
the marriage of Henry V and Catherine of Valois, and the event 
for which this Missal was executed. 

The first page represents a Gothic vaulted recess with hangings 
of blue tapestry, covered with devices of a K and the fleur-de-lys; 
in the centre and at each side rise three tall columns surmounted 
by an angel. The angel on the centre column holds a shield 
with the arms of Charles VI, and a banderolle on which is in- 
scribed ‘‘Karolus VI Rex Francie,’’ and at the bottom attached 
by a thong, is another shield with the joint arms of Charles VI 
and Isabel of Bavaria. The angel on the pillar on the left holds 
shields and banderolles of the feudatories of France—the Dukes 
of Burgundy, Aquitaine and Normandy, and the Counts of 
Flanders, Champagne and Toulouse. On the right the angel holds 
shields of the ecclesiastical lords of Rheims, Langres, Laon, 
Beauvais, Noyons and Chalons. On the second leaf is a broad 
floral border containing the shields of Henry V and Catherine of 
Valois quartering those of France and England. In the centrea - 
Tabernacle of goldsmith’s work holds the Holy Sacrament and 
stands on a Gothic altar, the background being of red tapestry 
with gold fleur-de-lys. Following the second leaf are three leaves 
of Table—‘‘pour trouver les offices chascun iour par ordre,’’ 
ending with ‘‘ Messe de saint loys roy de france.’’ 

Many of the large miniatures are of unusual occurrence. In 
those instances where the subjects are repeated, they are of dif- 
ferent composition and usually by a different artist. The two 
miniatures of 8. Catherine emphasize the fact of its being for the 
Queen, and it is interesting to notice the number of French saints 
and martyrs represented. 

THIS MANUSCRIPT IS NOT ONLY OF GREAT HISTORICAL IM- 
PORTANCE, BUT OF REMARKABLE INTEREST ON ACCOUNT OF THE 
MAGNIFICENCE OF ITS EXECUTION AND THE PROFUSENESS OF THE 
MINIATURES.

tail, particularly in facial expression.

Erasmus, God the Father teaching a prayer to a Burgundian 
Priest, and the SS. Peter and Paul.

TEENTH CENTURY MANUSCRIPT OF THE FRENCH POETICAL VER- 
SION OF Ovip’s EPISTOLa HEROIDUM, ASCRIBED TO OCTAVIAN DE 
SAINT-GELAIS, Bishop of Angouléme (1494-1502), written in 
gothic (bdtardes) characters upon 130 leaves of vellum (914 in. 
x 6144 in.). TWENTY-ONE HALF-PAGE MINIATURES, WITHIN 
ORNAMENTAL BORDERS, small 4to, old red morocco gilt panels 


enclosing small tooled ornaments, gilt edges, in morocco ease. 
[ca. 1499] 


* A SPLENDID AND MOST REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT OF GREAT 
HISTORICAL INTEREST, presumably executed for Louis XII. and 
Anne of Brittany, the miniature on fol. 46 apparently a por- 
trait of the Queen (resembling that in the famous ‘‘ Livre 
d’Heures d’Anne de Bretagne’’) and that on fol. 112 resembles 
the head of Louis XII. found on coins of the period. 

The miniatures, which are painted in the best style of the 
French Renaissance and delineated with so much individuality, 
are undoubtedly portraits from life, some of them probably 
Maids of Honor to the Queen. They are interesting as de- 
picting the costumes of the period, and are executed in man- 
ner precisely similar to that of the above-mentioned ‘‘ Livre 
d’Heures.’’ All of the subjects are—with three exceptions— 
half-length figures and represent the Heroines in the work itself, 
the ‘‘ Heriodes or Epistles of the Heroines’’ consisting of sup- 
posed leiters of famous women written to their absent husbands 
or lovers. 

The artists have not reproduced men and women of classical 
antiquity, but have chosen to paint their own contemporaries, 
so that they cannot be mistaken for imaginary creations. Several 
are naturally depicted in the act of writing, and Phédre is 
standing holding a quill pen, which she is cutting, to the light, 
with a knife in her left hand. The portrait of Louis XII— 
represented as suffering and feeble—is peculiarly truthful in 
delineation, while the only other male character—a beautiful 
portrait of a young man—might conceivably be Charles VIII., 
‘‘)affable,’’ first husband of Anne de Bretagne, who died in . 
1498, aged 28 years. The title, which was painted at a later 
date than the body of the book, is in an architectural border of 
camaieu d’or containing at the top a medallion of Ovid in a red 
robe on a blue ground.

* A delightful little Allegorical Poem written during the first

raynne” to whom the poem is dedicated was presumably 
Francois, duc de Lorraine, who died in 1544, and the Chateau 
d’ Arches, where the action takes place, is situated near Epinal, 
in the Vosges. The subjects of the Miniatures, which reveal 
the architecture and costumes of the period of Francois I., in- 
clude a full-page representation of the three authors of the 
poem, poet, artist and scribe (who are also the heroes), seated 
at a writing-table composing the poem; all the others depict 
the same men, as pilgrims setting out on horseback, heing 
received by the Seigneur and Dame de Lorraine (Goodwill and 
Charity); crossing the torrent of Penalty; their visit to the 
Castle of Sorrow; a bed-chamber in the castle, an invalid in 
the canopied bed; Understanding conducting them to the Steps 
of Healing; their departure through the Tower of Health. 

The Manuscript was discovered in the Chateau de Guise in

preface by Eugéne Paillet, in which it was pointed out that 
the execution of the Miniatures was not only extremely deli- 
cate but of considerable originality, while the artist painted 
what he saw every day (castles, interiors and costumes), and 
did not.simply copy the ideas of others.

Zinna (Tzenna). Press of the Cistercian Monastery. 1492 


“A volume described as EXTREMELY RARE by Brunet. The 
work was probably printed for imperial presents only, and the 
impression limited to very few copies, the expense having been 
defrayed by the Emperor Frederick III and his son (afterwards 
Emperor Maximilian), whose figures (kneeling) are introduced 
in every border. The woodcuts, as Didot has remarked, are of 
more archaic type than the contemporary productions of Nirn- 
berg, as indeed might be expected, South Germany being in ad- 
vance of the North in artistic cultivation. 

The indication of place and date of printing are extracted 
from the prologue. The monastery of Zinna was east of Magde- 
burg and North of Leipzig. Hain, 11891; Proctor, 3226.

Signed ‘‘ Edgar A. Poe.’’ 2 pages, 4to, with leaf of address

Philadelphia, November 19, 1842. 


* A long letter relating to a political appointment Poe hoped 
to get under President Tyler at the Custom House. 

“Your letter of the 14th gave me new hope—only to be dashed 
to the ground. On the day of its receipt some of the papers an- 
nounced four removals and appointments, Among the latter 
I observed the name—Pogue. Upon inquiry I soon found that 
no such person as—Pogue had any expectation of an app't and 
that the name was a misprint or rather a misunderstanding of 
the reporters who had heard my own name spoken of at The 
Custom House. . . . It seems to me that the only way to serve 
me now is to procure a few lines from the President directing 
Mr. Smith to give me the place. With these credentials he 
would scarcely again refuse. But I leave all to your better 
judgment.” 

In the postscript Poe says: ‘‘Write soon & if possible relieve 
my suspense, You cannot imagine the trouble I am in & have 
been in for the last 2months—unable to enter into any literary 
arrangements—or in fact to do anything—being in hourly ex- 
pectation of getting the place,”

2642. POK (EDGAR ALLAN). Autograph Letter Signed, 
2 pp. 4to, New York, Feb. 29, 1848. 


* A REMARKABLE AND APPARENTLY UNPUBLISHED LETTER in 
which Poe refers to the charges made against his being ad- 
dicted to drink, and also outlines very fully his philosophical 
lecture, later expanded and published as ‘‘Eureka.’’ After a 
few references to Willis, Colton, Graham, and Godey, Poe men- 
tions the editor of the ‘‘ Weekly Universe,’’ who had described 
his habits as ‘‘ shockingly irregular.’’ 

‘“He could not have had the personal acquaintance with me 
of which he writes, but has fallen into a very natural error. 
The fact is this: My habits are rigorously abstemious and I 
omit nothing of the natural regimen requisite for health: 4%. e. 
I rise early, eat moderately, drink nothing but water, and take 
abundant and regular exercise in the open air. But this is my 
prwate life—my studious and literary Ufe—and of course es- 
capes the eye of the world. The desire for society comes upon 
me only when I have become excited by drink. Then only I go 
—that is, at these times only I have been in the practice of go- 
ing among my friends: who seldom, or in fact never, having 
seen me unless excited, take it for granted, that I am always 
so. Those who really know me, know better. In the meantime 
I shall turn the general error to account. But enough of this: 
the causes which maddened me to the drinking point are no 
more, and I am done drinking, forever.’’ He then gives a re- 
swmé of the points of his lecture published in ‘‘ Eureka,’’ simi- 
lar to that in a letter to Geo. E. Isbell of the same date, which 
has been published, but in this the propositions are given at 
greater length.

count for its rarity.

Signed. 4 pp. 4to. Edinburgh: Apl. 10, [1811] 


*To Robert Southey, thanking him for ‘‘Kehama,” and 
mentioning that John Leyden had sent him a poisoned creese 
which he wishes was ‘‘ sheathed in Bonaparte.” 

‘* I have just got the Quarterly. I scarcely know the article on 
Kehama, which has been greatly altered. Another time I shall 
wish to have all the final correcting of the proof sheets of my 
articles, etc. After alluding to Roscoe, Murray, and Longman, 
he returns to the subject of Napoleon. ‘‘ Barossa is indeed a 
glorious affair and gained too by a‘ Gallant Graeme.’ The 
effect of such a victory upon the morale of the French Army is 
likely to be incalculable. But O my dear Southey for La Pena’s 
head on a charger!’ Most of the letter refers to the operations 
of the French in the Peninsula.

ered with rich gilt foliage and scroll tooling, gilt edges by 
Marius Michel. (Measuring 65% x 414 in.) 

Printed for T. P., 1608 


* Third edition, printed by Thomas Pavier. From the study 
which has been recently made respecting old collected volumes 
of Shakespeare Quartos, it is interesting to know that the FIVE 
FOLLOWING LOTS were originally bound together, and that at one 
time the volume was in the Library of the Duke of Roxburgh. 
The plays are: Henry the Fifth, 1608, King John 1611, Ham- 
let 1611, Henry IV, 1613, and Richard the Second 1615. The 
first in date (Henry V) has the Roxburgh arms stamped on the 
back of the title apparently indicating that it was the first in 
the volume. 


2971. [SHAKESPEARE]. The First and second Part of 
the troublesome Raigne of John King of England. With the 
discouerie of King Richard Cordelions Base sonne (vulgarly

lately acted by the Queenes Maiesties Players. Written by 
W. Sh. Small 4to, with the original blank leaf, red levant 
morocco, gilt back, gilt edges, by Riviére. (Measuring 6% x 
47% inches. )

with an autograph letter by him referring to it, dated 1891. 
At London: Printed for John Smethwicke, 1611 


* Third edition. The two previous issues—sometimes desig- 
nated as ‘‘second’’ and ‘‘third’’ editions, are the same edition, 
some title-pages dated 1604 and others dated 1605, but there are 
no other variations excepting such as were made in passing 
through the press. They were probably issued late in 1604, 
some copies being dated in advance 1605. Very fine copy, 
measuring 6% x 4% inches. . 


2973. SHAKESPEARE. The History of Henrie the

47% inches. ) At London: Printed for Mathew Law, 1615 


* Fourth edition. Of this Edition there were two issues of 
the same sheets with a difference in the title-page only, though 
they have sometimes been called third and fourth editions.

Honourable the Lord Chamberlaine his servants. Written by

SHAKESPEARE—THE FOUR FOLIOS. 


2978. SHAKESPEARE. Tue First Fouio. Mr. WinLIAM 
SHAKESPEARE’S CoMeEpies, Histories, & TRAGEDIES. Pub- 
_ lished according to the True Originall Copies. Folio, oLD RED 
STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO, gilt edges, with the Syston Park 
bookplate. 

London: Printed by Isaac Iaggard and Ed. Blount, 1623 


* A VERY FINE TALL Copy, believed to be the second largest 
known—with SOME ROUGH AND UNCUT EDGES, measuring 13% x 
814% inches. It is in SOUND, CLEAN CONDITION THROUGHOUT and 
the paper has apparently never been washed or mended, while 

additional interest attaches to this copy on account of its dig- 
nified and handsome old red morocco binding. In the sales 
catalogue of the Syston Park Library it was attributed by 
by Sotheby to Roger Payne and Mr. Hoe also ascribed it to him 
in his own catalogue. The only defects in this otherwise splen- 
did copy appear to be as follows:—the title is cut down and 
inlaid, some letters being supplied in pen and ink, the leaf of 
verses opposite also cut down and mounted, and a defect in the 
paper at sigs. bb.6 aaaz and aaa4 slightly injuring a few letters. 

The only copy sold by auction in recent years which, ap- 
proaches the above in condition and size was the Van Antwerp 
copy, in 1907, which realized $18,000, but compared with the 
above it was less by % in. in height and % less in breadth. 
From the fact—above mentioned—that many of the leaves in 
this copy are uncut, at one of the three margins, it is probable 
NO LARGER COPY COULD BE FOUND, since it is not likely that a 
copy would have left the original binder’s hands entirely uncut. 


2979. SHAKESPEARE. THESECcOND FoLio. Mr. Will- 
iam Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies.

* A VERY FINE LARGE COPY, measuring 133¢ x 834 inches. 
The usual errors of typography and pagination found in this 
edition also are uncorrected, but in addition are the following 
found in but few copies: p. 166 is printed 163; and the head- 
line of p. 623 reads ‘‘ The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet ” instead 
of ‘‘ The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus.” Throughout are many 
manuscript corrections in two handwritings, one of the 17th 
century the other of the 18th, consisting of emendations, read- 
ings and directions, evidently written for an actor, as well as 
interpretations and suggestions of wrongly printed words, etc.

London: Printed for William Ponsonbie, 1590 
* First Edition. One of the rarest books in the English lan- 
guage, probably not over six perfect copies being known, and a 
few more imperfect. There is a slight difference in the imprint 
of the title page in some copies, most of them reading ‘‘ Printed 
by John Windet for William Ponsonbie.’’ Only two or three 
copies are known with the imprint omitting ‘‘ Windet’s name, 
one in Trinity College, Cambridge, another sold in 1909 by The 
Anderson Auction Company to a New York collector, and possi- 
bly one other. 
The Birket Foster copy, with two of his book-plates inserted.

3066. SIDNEY (SIR PHILIP). The Defense of Poesie. 
By Sir Phillip Sidney, Knight. 4to, brown levant morocco, 
side ornaments, gilt edges, by Riviére. 

London Printed for VVilliam Ponsonby. 1595 


*Two editions of this work were issued in 1595, one by 
Henry Olney under the title ‘‘An Apologie for Poetrie,’’ and 
the other by William Ponsonby, as above. It is uncertain which 
of the two was the earlier printed, for although Ponsonby’s 
title was entered on the registers of the Stationers’ Company 
six months before Olney’s, there is no proof that he printed 
before Olney. According to Collier, Olney’s edition was first; 
but he may not have known of the other. 

In the Locker collection is a copy of the Ponsonby edition, 
described as unique. The title, ‘‘The Defence of Poesie,’’ is 
given not only on the title-page, but also in the body of the 
work and as a headline. The signatures run from B to K2 
only, and there are no preliminary leaves except the title. The 
present copy is Olney’s edition with the Ponsonby title, signa- 
tures B to L8. 

When this work was appended to the 1598 edition of the 
‘‘Arcadia,’’ the title was given as ‘‘The Defence of Poesie,’’ 
and the Sonnets by Constable were omitted. Edward Wotton, 
whose name in the early editions is mentioned at the beginning 
of the work, was afterward designated by his initials only. 

This Ponsonby title appears to have been overlooked, not only 
by Collier, but by Lowndes and Corser, and it is thought that 
only two or three copies of the work exist with it. The present 
copy contains the contemporary autograph of Lewiston Fitz- 
james, and some marginal notes in the same hand. 

Collation: Three preliminary blank leaves, Al, A2, A3. Title 
with printer’s device, A4 (verso blank). ‘‘An Apologie for 
Poetrie,’’ B1—L3 in fours. Two final blank leaves. No pag- 
ination.

within elaborate woodcut border. Folio, sprinkled ealf, gilt 
back and sides, gilt edges, by Riviére. 

London: Printed by W. 8. 1627 
* Presumably the ninth edition, although the title reads, ‘‘ the 


sixt time published,’’ This edition contains the Sixth Book by 
Richard Beling, dated 1628.

* Extremely rare, only four copies being on record, the 
British Museum, the Huth, the Locker-Lampson, and the pres, 
ent, which was formerly in the Ashburnham library. There 
seems to have been more than one issue, as the Huth copy has 
the reverse of the titletblank, while in this it contains a wood- 
cut, presumably of Cardinal Wolsey and Skelton. The above 
agrees with the Huth and British Museum copies in having 
no blank leaf at end. Very few of Kele’s books are dated, but. 
as he printed between 1545 and 1552 it was no doubt issued 
between those years.

* VERY FINE AND PERFECT COPY, IN THE ORIGINAL STAMPED 
BINDING WITH CLASPS, By WILLIAM MACHLINIA (lower side re- 
stored). The first printed collection of English Statutes, and 
remarkable for containing two statutes not printed in any other 
edition: viz., 2 Richard II, Cap. 7 and 8. There are some val- 
uable fragments enclosed in an envelope and laid in the book 
which were once used as fly-leaves for the binding. They form 
a nearly complete copy of the first edition of ‘‘SraTuTA APUD 
WESTMONASTERIUM REGIS RICARDI TERCI,’’ printed by William 
Machlinia about 1480. Although in poor condition, this is in 
itself a very remarkable little work of extreme rarity. It con- 
sists of signature a, 8 leaves, the first being a blank, and sig- 
nature b 2 leaves (a complete copy should contain 16 leaves).

* First Eprrion, with the leaf of advertisements at end. As 


this play was first produced in April, 1705, the date of the first 
edition as 1703 in Biographia Dramatica is obviously incorrect.

the worst of human maladies is Poverty—tho’ that’s a 2’d 
Lye,—for Poverty of Spirit is worse than Poverty of Purse— 
but I enclose you a remedy for the one, a Draught of 3000 Lwres 
for which I insist upon a Rescription by the very return, Or I’M 
send you & all yr Commissaries with You to all the Devils in 
hell—I don’t hear they have tasted of one fleshy Banquer all 
this Lent—You will make an excellent Grille—Panchaud, they 
can make nothing of him but Bullion,’’ ete. 

Sterne’s letters to his bankers were all pitched in the familiar 
key of his postscript: ‘‘I have not 5 Louis to vapour with in 
this Land of Coxcombs.’’
